The ethical treatment of books
I actually try to keep track of the conversations between Molly and me that I find funny or cute or surprising.
While watching one of her favourite documentary-style shows about art and architecture tonight, I sensed her agitation and then I heard it:
Molly: That's not right, Mum! That's NOT right.
Me: What's not right?
Molly: They're turning unwanted books into works of art... People should respect books!
I know that I was a reader at her age (7), but I don't recall having such a strong sense of justice regarding the treatment of books.
